Question

8．對工程師們來說，失之毫厘，謬以千里．
To the engineers，a miss is as good as a mile．

Answer 1

分析 a miss is as good as a mile．

解答 答案：a miss is as good as a mile．這里是諺語失之毫厘，謬以千里的表達(dá)，含義是一次失去就像是一英里一樣，與…一樣用as…as，中間加上形容詞或副詞，此處加上形容詞good，miss表示失去，故答案是a miss is as good as a mile．

點評 常見的諺語的英語表達(dá)有：Where there is a will，there is a way．有志者，事竟成．Well begun is half done．好的開端是成功的一半．It is never too late to mend．亡羊補牢，猶為未晚．Light come，light go．來得容易，去得快．Time is money．時間就是金錢．A friend in need is a friend indeed．患難見真交．
